POPSPew: Plurality opposes ObamaCare proposals by 13 points And who is listening?? Apparently not many in Congress because they keep pushing the plan through. So much for a representative form of government. Health Care reform....yes. This plan...no! So many egos are on the line that they don't care what the people think.

POPSCongress' Secret Plan to Pass Obamacare - CONFIRMED What Country am I living in now? I never would have dreamed we would go downhill so quickly. These people are not representing us....they are completely ignoring the will of the majority for their own personal politics. This is a democracy no longer. We are being ruled by arrogant and devious thugs. They can not be stopped! Wait til this takes on human reality...for you & me...and then see what happens.

POPSGallup: Congressional approval drops sharply As well it should! I really hope that there's a huge change in the upcoming elections. It's easy to understand why Washington wanted to take control of "free speech" on talk radio and of bloggers.

POPSPoll: Lowest support yet for healthcare We all know this. As more of the population becomes aware of this bill the more opposed to it they became. I'm convinced that's why the Stimulus and Clunkers Bill went so quickly. Speed...while they're unsuspecting. Suddenly, people have became more informed & suspicious. Suddenly the people realized they were being duped with all that verbal hype that means nothing. Slow & steady wins the race. Reform is necessary, but this needs to be seriously vetted and studied with cognizance of what the long-term effects will be. Is there no one in Congress who will commit themselves to this most vital issue that effects (affects) soooooo many Americans for decades to come?

POPSAt Least 6 Federal Laws & Regulations Violated By the NEA Conference Call And today the WH called the call "inappropriate". I guess that's what they now call illegal activities performed by the Administration and/or Congress. "Any failure by the Congress of the United States to initiate a full-scale investigation must be considered action designed to enable the misuse of taxpayer funds in violation of federal law." Indeed.

POPSObama on ACORN... And just exactly what is he "following"? This organization helped get him elected. The current President will spend the next 3 1/2 yrs. telling us that he knows nothing about innumerable things....including foreign & domestic affairs...which are his primary Presidential responsibilities. ACORN is thoroughly corrupt. Now how does he extricate himself from them?

POPSShimkus walked on Obama: 'Frustrated' More should have "walked" because the speech was a waste of time since everyone knew what he was going to say anyway. Time better spent reading bills or reading to his kids.

POPSSenate must raise debt ceiling above $12T Hypocrite!! Stimulus, bail-outs, clunkers, healthcare, etc....Zero accountability. These politicians are completely destroying our economy while many will try to blame this on the past Administration. How much money has this Congress printed in the last 7 months?? I despise them all.

POPSPelosi will let Rangel hold post despite latest allegations FTA: There is also the danger of alienating members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), a large bloc of liberals in the Democratic Caucus. Many of them take pride in the fact that one of their members sits atop Ways and Means. Pelosi: Jan. 2006 ""It is long past time for the Congress to address the systemic Republican culture of corruption that has undermined the American people's confidence in this institution," Pelosi said. "I am proud that some of the best minds in our Caucus will be leading the Democratic effort to clean up the corrupt Republican Congress. These great leaders will work to restore truth and trust to the People's House." Hypocrite.

POPSRasmussen poll: Toomey crushing Specter, Sestak I'm not sure I'd call it "crushing" but I'm encouraged. After that *display* at his health care townhall meeting it's hard to believe he has any support. The poor man seems pitifully senile; but then there are a lot of those in Congress.

POPSDon't need leaders who just can't be bothered to read.. We have elected to represent us the lowest form of Americans. At least Conyers said flat-out what we all believed anyway. These entitled elitists are foisting on us (as LAW) things they don't even know about and frankly, isn't important because (as the article says) it won't apply to them. They spend their days at 'luncheons', traveling, making idiotic speeches that are as empty and superficial as their own sense of leadership and accomplishments. Americans....please don't let the likes of this man continue with his arrogant, lazy, pompous crafting of policies that will effect our future and every detail of our daily lives.

POPSHouse to consider resolution demanding Obama apologize to Crowley Oh please. While I believe the officer acted appropriately and the President regrets his words, this is ridiculous. Surely there are much more pressing issues to be dealt with and resolved than to waste time on this stupid stuff. Whether Dem/Rep, this is a waste of taxpayers money when time could be better spent on more serious stuff. Or maybe they can't deal with the more serious stuff.

POPSMayo Clinic's reaction to House Tri-Committe bill I sincerely hope that Congress will listen to those in the health care workplace. I'm all for some changes but the *rush* is foolish. And let's face it...what does Congress know about medicine, doctors, medical insurance, and what is best for those struggling with illnesses and the bills? No big deal for them; they are always well cared for. "..not patient focused or results oriented..." Yep! Hello elected Representatives!

POPSAMA signs its members up to be civil servants I have not met a single person who is not completely worried about this healthcare issue. No one argues that there are a lot of things that need to be fixed or altered. But the *rush* factor is very puzzling. Better to intelligently deal with one portion at a time than to throw over the entire system when parts of it are working well.

POPSAP: Taliban video shows captive US soldier So...is Obama to blame? Please pray for this man. He needs all the support true Americans can procure. We don't need another Daniel Pearl to remind us of our enemies ruthlessness. I hope SO are at work to gain his escape.

POPSCongressmen profited from inside information in the collapse? Amen to the last statement of the clip. I'm sick of all of them. Only within the last few years have I begun to realize how corrupted Washington (and everyone, I guess) truly is. I'll admit to being naive because I was raised to be honest...or suffer the consequences. If other high-profile names can be prosecuted and sent to prison...why not these?? And I don't care about their Party affiliation.

POPSGay Duke U. Official Attempts to Sell 5-Year-Old son for Sex. The tone of the article is that there has been no media coverage of this...until now. Yes, the "director" is a homosexual and I don't believe for an instant that this is not a common practice. Daughter lives next to a family whose son has adopted a 4 yr old little girl. It's scary. But WHOEVER violates a child deserves to be outed (no matter their sex, race or orientation) and severely prosecuted. We allow liars, frauds, thieves...all manner of crooks to represent us in Congress; but in my opinion the wounding and violation of children is as low as it gets. Mandoff gets 100+ yrs. for his crimes; what do pedophiles get? Released back into the community and their names/pictures printed on the internet. :~(

POPSPelosi Won't Give Public a Week to Review Text of HC Bill.... We are to accept a pig-in-a-poke from these people...the very people who are to be OUR representatives! Are any of them representing YOU? If this thing continues, our health care system is going to be sooooo screwed up that no one...not Doctors, Labs, Hospitals, Insurance Companies, etc...are going to know what to do. Complete confusion. If the bill is currently this long, with certain parts not included, and other parts to be added later, can you imagine the volumes our healthcare providers are going to have to digest? This Congress & Administration are bringing chaos.

POPSPolitical Punch I thought our Country was in it's worth financial crisis since the '30s. I thought we were suppose to cut back on extravagances. All those people (the Administration, Congress & families, etc) sure are having fun with our money. (oh, I forgot, they're printing more) They all got raises and free health care coverage, pensions for life..... Talk about the haves/entitled; and then there is us.
